Questions

How big is the Bear face pcb PCB?

It measures 300 × 111.8 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Bear face pcb use?

216 parts, built around the ATMEGA32U4-AU. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Bear face pcb KiCad files?

From the will-hedges/bear-face-pcb repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is bear_face_pcb.kicad_pcb and its schematic bear_face_pcb.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Bear face pcb design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the MIT licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
